As folks deal with the sweltering heat outside, a homeless man complained to WVTM 13 Monday about the heat and odor inside the Salvation Army shelter in Birmingham.

The organization said that one of the three air conditioning units in the men's area is broken, but the group is getting the problem fixed.

"In the meantime, if it takes too long for the parts to come in, we will certainly move them to where it's cooler. We can transport them and give them options to move to other shelters as well. Anything we can do to make them as comfortable as possible," Lori Cork with the Salvation Army said.

The Salvation Army is working on another broken A/C unit in the lower level of the building where the employees work.
